Medical Medium, soyfree and glutenfree Indonesian fried rice (nasi goreng)
Nasi goreng, the beloved Indonesian fried rice, is a dish rich in flavor and history. Traditionally made with a base of pre-cooked, leftover rice, onion, garlic and a unique sweet salty sauce called kecap manis. This version keeps all the authentic flavor but is crafted to be soyfree and glutenfree. A celebration of Indonesia’s vibrant culinary heritage, while making it compliant with your diet.

Rice
Nasi goreng, as most fried rice recipes, has its origin in the use of leftovers. It’s supposed to come together easily with condiments you already have in your cabinet: like sambal and kecap. You can use almost any vegetable you find in your fridge, although often French or green beans are used. The same goes for the rice: if you have any pre-cooked, leftover rice from the day before: you can use it for nasi goreng. Storing it overnight in a cool spot (fridge is fine) alters the carbohydrates, making them perfect for frying. You can use any long grain rice you like. The kind of rice used for sushi or risotto is less suitable.
Medical Medium
This nasi goreng is as Medical Medium proof as possible. The sambal badjak and kecap manis are both homemade and gluten and soyfree. No fermented fish sauce or fermented shrimp paste are used, since those contain a lot of heavy metals and are farm raised.
Medical Medium and rice
Rice is a grain and falls under the category ‘filler foods’. It wont do you harm, but its not healing either.
Medical medium and frying
For an authentic nasi goreng pre-cooked rice is fried with a lot of oil. For a low(er) fat nasi goreng you could use less oil and replace it with a bit of water. But if you want to eat completely fatfree, just skip this recipe. Using only water and no oil will turn this dish into boiled rice.
